If you watched Season 5 of Project Runway, you already know that finalist Kenley Collins was a little bit of a nasal nut.  In every clip and interview she cried.  Or sounded like she was about to cry.  After the finale, she even cried on Live With Regis & Kelly.

To be succinct, stability was not Kenley’s strong point; apparently nothing has changed.  Ol’ Kenley was arrested for assaulting the man that she was slated to marry this October.  I’m not sure what spiked the fashion maven’s fury-maybe he was wearing Target brand pajamas.  Whatever the case, Collins was in a rage and threw apples, a lap top computer, water and a fucking cat at her sleeping beau.  After the attack, she told him, “You’re lucky…it could’ve been a lot worse.”

Now, Kenley Collins isn’t high-profile and probably not a role model to anyone.  However, it is equally as serious as Chris Brown’s actions and deserves equal disgust.  Maybe even worse since a living animal was also involved.

She was arrested and charged with six crimes including 2nd degree and 3rd degree assault, and criminal possession of a weapon in the 4th degree.   She was released from jail yesterday after suffering the horror of wearing an orange, deconstructed jumpsuit for a day.

It was reported, then unreported, but sadly, now it is confirmed.  Forty-five year old actress Natasha Richardson has passed away as a result of injuries sustained in a skiing accident on Monday.

The family released the following statement:

“Liam Neeson, his sons, and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha. They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time.”

It’s so odd how ones words can end up being so prophetic.  In 2002, Richardson spoke about her husband and a serious motorcycle accident he was involved in:  “It was such a shock, and I was so far away, filming a TV mini- series in Canada. I thought he was going to die. I no longer take anything for granted. Now I understand how fragile life is.”

Richardson is survived by her husband, actor Liam Neeson and sons Micheál and Daniel.  In addition, Natasha Richardson was the daughter of Vanessa Redgrave and sister of Joely Richardson.

… but it’s not exactly the most hetero thing in the world, either.

Here are some of the pics of Adam Lambert being, well, gay, that are floating around the Internet right now. Whatever. The producers certainly can’t give him the boot for this stuff, and I for one am delighted that we have an openly gay contestant on Idol this season. Although I have to admit that I’m a little jealous that he makes a hotter chick than I do. Oh well. You win some, you lose some.

Congrats to Kelly Clarkson, who’s dethroned Taylor Swift as the reigning queen of the charts. Kelly’s latest album, All I Ever Wanted, sold 255,000 copies this week and landed her the top spot. Taylor’s slipped to the #5 spot, which is totally understandable, because she’s been at the top of the charts for the past geological era.

Meanwhile, Taylor Hicks, another Idol winner, sold a totally embarrassing 9,000 copies of his second album, The Distance. Tickets for his performance tonight at The Roxy have been reduced to zero dollars — that’s right, free — and the show still hasn’t sold out. Simon Cowell must be doing a happy dance right now. I have no idea how that guy won American Idol. It’s probably why they’re fixing the results now and allowing for a judge’s save. They want cash cows, not old gray-haired cows.

Whoops!! Kanye West was charged today with misdemeanor vandalism, battery and grand theft, and his road manager, Don Crawley, has been charged with the same counts, but two of each. This all stems back to a fight they had with paparazzi at LAX on September 11 of last year. Video of the incident showed both men wresting a camera away from a photographer, and both smashing parts of it into the ground. Crawley also allegedly smashed a second photographer’s camera. The incident resulted in minor injuries to one of the photographers, prosecutors say.

If convicted of all charges, Kanye could face up to two years and six months in jail and his road manager could face up to five years in jail, according to the statement.

Wow, I didn’t even realize you could go to jail for a misdemeanor! Whatever, though, he’ll probably get off with a slap on the wrist. Wouldn’t it just be ridiculous if Kanye ends up serving jail time for this shit but Chris Brown gets off? That’s totally what would happen, too.

American Idol Top 13 Party

We’re hearing from insider sources that the producers of American Idol are freaking out right now, because apparently they’ve discovered that Adam Lambert did some gay porn in his pre-Idol days, and that it’s hanging out on the Internet right now.

Is anyone actually surprised by this?

I haven’t been able to track down the actual porn, but if anyone knows where it is, feel free to email me at evilbeet@gmail.com.
